What Love Requires Lyrics

What Love Requires lyrics

You may be

    Unaware, but secretly (upstairs) I've fought and cursed and
bled

    And now I need a warm, soft breast on which to rest and calm my
head

    And draw that living touch before I fall down dead



   But even

    Among ideals, I must reveal mine's not-so-everyday

 
  That slender wrist and iron fist that knocks my blahs away

    That taut
and tiny body who could overtake a bear

    Who'd fell a redwood should
its branches tangle in her hair



    Who is the central source of
her own innder fire

    Who knows what love requires



    I
know, I learned long ago

    That an iron will and mental skill are
imperative, and so

    I ask my whats and whys and whens and hows and
wheres and whos



    But still, I need that spark to fire up the
machine

    But the things that give me charge one day so quickly seem
routine

    So Venus, send a priestess my way worth the conquering

   (Let me work to be the victor I have longed to be!)



    Who, by
so taking, shows what led to my desire

    And shows what love requires.
